Introduction: The Dynamics of Blue Zones

For many years, researchers have looked at communities that promote healthy living. The idea of blue zones comes from the work of Gianni Pes and Michel Poulain published in the Journal of Experimental Gerontology, which identified Sardinia, Italy as the area with the most male centenarians.

Look below for an inspiring exploration of natural living: a journey towards fostering health and well-being within a vibrant local community.
